In this course, the student will be taught to create their own webpages with Notepad, the basic text editor of the Windows operating system. It will be ensure that the students learn the basic structure and syntax of HTML.
2. - Is a professional where a person designs a web page or web
site. The web page can have graphics, music, animation, and many
other things on it. Some web design is done for businesses, and
some is done for individual
people.
- People who design web pages are called web designers. Web
designers use Hypertext Markup Languages (HTML) and eXtensible
Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML). These languages are used to
tell browsers how to display your webpage it includes layouts,
colors, graphics, fonts, and content.
3. HTML TAGS
Each tag in the text box plays a role in the creation of your HTML.
HTML Tag DESCRIPTION
<html> Indicates that the file is composed of HTML commands
<head> Usually contains the web page title, scripts, meta information, and more.
<title>
This contains the title of the web page that usually describes the web page
content. It is usually seen in the title bar of the browser window or on browser
tabs.
<body> Defines the document body which includes the contents on an HTML
document like text, hyperlinks, lists, images, etc.
4. Note that for every tag there is an equivalent closing tag.
5. Document Type Definition (DTD)
Every webpage must contain a DOCTYPE definition so
the browser know what type of document your webpage is.
With HTML 4 the DOCTYPE definition should contain DTD,
which contains machine-readable grammar specifying the
allowed and prohibited contents for the documents.
In HTML 5, while no DTD is needed, the DOCTYPE
definition is still necessary. This is because current web
browsers now use special-purpose HTML parsers rather than
general purpose DTD based parsers.
8. Notepad uses basic text formatting to make and edit text
files. But there are other web development tools available like
Wordpad it can be used to do basic formatting, while
Microsoft Word can be used to autocorrect entries.
Microsoft Frontpage, which is a What You See Is What
You Get (WYSIWYG) program, can be use to layout webpage
components as these would appear if using a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) so you don’t have to manually write the code,
since images and icons are used.
